Road Safety Light

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 03:01 AM PDT

The Flexi-Safety Light features a flexible form that makes it adaptable in a construction environment. Intended for areas where roadwork is being carried out, the lights can be synchronized to flash, strobe, or flash in a linear sequence. This function is especially helpful in diverging traffic as well as forewarning drivers of the upcoming hazards.

The design uses flexible OLED panels and includes energy and weight efficiency. The light includes a urethane skin surrounding the OLED panels, which allows the light to bend and flex.

Key points:

  • Flexi-Safety Light can be fitted to a wide range of road barriers, signs, and urban fixtures.
  • The interlocking lights use a magnetic keyed system.
  • Steel cables, which loop through the urethane core, enhance security.
  • The interface provides on going information about batteries and lights in operation via GPS technology.
  • A single light measures 75mm wide, 55mm deep, and 300mm high.
  • Convenient packaging allows for six lights to be docked while the storage case can be connected for charging.

The Flexi-Safety Light is a 2013 Red Dot Award: Design Concept winner.

Designer: David Gatfield

TouchOfModern 5 Weeks of Discovery: Week 1 – UrbMat Guided Garden

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 12:45 AM PDT

The innovative flash sale site TouchOfModern is back again this year, with the intention of making shopping for gorgeous design and gadgets a whole lot more fun. In this five-part Monday Madness series, we have compiled a compelling list of five products that are perfect as a treat for yourself or as a gift for someone you love, with a myriad of selections for multiple personality types.

UrbMat is a small-space garden solution that takes the guesswork out of growing your own herbs, vegetables, and flowers. It utilizes built-in irrigation and lasts up to three years in direct sunlight. Plant types are color-coded, pre-spaced, and integrated with companion planting to keep your home cooking fresh.

UrbnEarth, the guys behind the UrbMat, is focused on providing solutions for city dwellers to grow their own food regardless of space and soil restrictions. They’re a community of like-minded people who feel strongly that growing our food is an answer to many of society's health-related problems. The UrbMat is meant to empower and mobilize people to take control of the current food system and become powerful producers rather than dependent consumers.

And there's more to the UrbMat sale than a cool product. TouchOfModern has connected with UrbnEarth to bring homegrown food to local classrooms. Two meals are typically donated per UrbMat purchased, and in an additional effort to foster healthy learning habits, TouchOfModern will be donating one UrbMat to a local school in San Francisco for every ten sold.

By buying your own UrbMat, you're growing more than your own garden; you're growing a child's interest in the environment. Giving back while growing your own garden? That's what we at Yanko Design call "Form Beyond Function."

Inspired? Purchase your own UrbMat here now.

Local elementary schoolers will now be able to grow twelve foods, flowers, and herbs, with learning opportunities based on the UrbMat’s companion growing, maximization of small spaces, composting, and caring for everything from carrots to kale. Kits will be hand-delivered by Phil Weiner, CEO of UrbnEarth, whose passion for health is matched by TouchOfModern’s commitment to community.

"We believe in making a positive impact to everyday living through beautiful design, whether it makes your life more efficient, or simply brings joy from interacting with it." – Dennis Liu, CEO, TouchOfModern.

Stay tuned for next Monday's discovery from TouchOfModern, with a bonus giveaway on Week 5.

Far-Out Guitar Effects!

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT

SpaceFuzz (love the name) is the go-to effect pedal for guitarists and bassists that love a thick and voluminous sound. Despite its simple interface, SpaceFuzz is actually quite versatile. Turn on the “Space” alone for a clear reverb and adjust the time with the potentiometer. Turn on the “Fuzz” alone for a thick and dry fuzzy distortion, then adjust the amount of distortion with the potentiometer. Turn on both to enjoy a filthy, air-ripping sound!

Crazy for Cubespresso

Posted: 02 Jun 2014 12:01 AM PDT

If you’re a caffeine-head, then you want you coffee and you want it NOW… which is precisely what’s wrong with existing espresso capsule machines. Get in line! But not with Cubespresso. What’s great is that you can brew more than one cup at a time. What’s even better is that you can mix different flavors in one brew to create your own blends! Satisfy your impatience and never have to choose just one flavor again! DO WANT!
